So when that dark saber light fell, he was a little slow in dodging and the saber light sliced off some of his lapel.
The middle-aged man frowned slightly, a little surprised.
He could tell that the young man in front of him was at Divine Trove Realm. Furthermore, he was a martial artist.
A martial artist at this level, at such a young age, Chen Chao could naturally be called a genius. However, he had already stepped into the Bitter Sea Realm and had an advantage in terms of cultivation realm. So he had never thought that he would fall into a disadvantage when he fought.
But when they really started to fight, he found that he was wrong.
The young man opposite him was extremely cunning. In just a moment, his arm was hacked by the other party. If he had not retreated fast enough, his arm would probably have been severed by this one slash.
Looking at the thin man who retreated several dozen feet away, Chen Chao was also a little puzzled.
He did not expect that although this thin man's cultivation realm was higher than his, the pressure he gave him was actually not great when they started fighting.
When the two of them fought, he clearly sensed that the other party's reaction was half a beat slower than he expected.
After dodging that slash, the thin man lifted one hand and his palm surged with qi. Clearly, he was not planning to engage in close combat with Chen Chao anymore.
Feeling the sharp aura coming from the front, Chen Chao narrowed his eyes slightly.
He gripped the saber in his hand tightly.
A terrifying aura suddenly emerged at the end of the alley and the qi rushed out from his palm. It actually seemed to surge forth like a huge wave in an instant, filling the entire alley.
Chen Chao slightly bent his knees and then leaped towards the giant wave.
The most obvious difference between a martial artist and an immortal cultivator was that an immortal cultivator can study various daoist techniques, with a variety of means that were difficult to deal with, while a martial artist, apart from having the most tenacious body in the world, it was difficult to transform their qi into anything else. In combat, there were no additional means.
Holding the broken saber tightly, Chen Chao did not hesitate and slashed towards the wave in front of him.
Who cares what it was, just slash it apart.
He gritted his teeth. Then his entire person immediately crashed into the huge wave.
The girl on his back was a little scared, so she lowered her head and clung tightly to his back.
Chen Chao was a martial artist who had tempered his muscles and bones countless times, with a tenacious body that could hold up against the wave. But like Xie Nandu, the saintess had only just stepped into cultivation recently. Although her talent was exceptional, she had not yet arrived where she should be. At this moment, compared to ordinary people, she was not much stronger.
Chen Chao crashed into the waves and his body was instantly hit by the wave.
Just like the coast.
The waves contained powerful qi that was very turbulent. He could feel that the skinny man had cultivated this daoist technique very diligently. At this moment, he had already vaguely grasped its true meaning.
It was very hard to deal with.
Chen Chao felt the pain of the wave hitting his body, but he did not pay much attention to it. It was because this pain was much weaker than what he had endured when tempering his body.
He quickly emerged from the wave and appeared in front of the skinny man.
A punch was thrown without any warning!
The skinny man could not dodge in time, or perhaps he did not expect Chen Chao to be able to pass through the wave and arrive in front of him, so he dodged too slowly.
That punch already struck his forehead.
The tremendous force made the skinny man lose his footing. He fell backward, but at the moment of falling, several streams of qi burst out from his palm. A strange aura emerged here, but Chen Chao did not want to give him any chance to turn the tide of the battle. While those streams of qi were still surging out, he threw his next punch at the other party's chest.
That punch was very calculated, as that place was the crucial spot where qi circulated. If it was damaged, he definitely could not use the daoist magic anymore.
Chen Chao's fist was very heavy; as heavy as a mountain.
The man's body was very frail, so he could not bear it.
When he was struck by the punch, his chest caved in, and the qi in his palm disappeared instantly.
He looked at the youth who threw the punch. There was some pain and a confused look in his eyes. He thought for a moment and wanted to say something, but Chen Chao did not give him the chance to speak.
The broken saber was already in his hand and the blade had cut through his body, along with his vitality that flowed out with his blood. With one swift motion, Chen Chao killed him with his saber and then sheathed it.
Chen Chao performed his action very casually, because he had done it too many things and was overly familiar with it. So there was no difficulty nor any sense of novelty.
The qi in the alley began to weaken. Before long, this place would return to normal.
That body fell to the ground with a thud and soon it would become a corpse. The blood would turn very cold, just like a hotpot left out in the cold.
Chen Chao was rather emotional as he said, "I prefer to kill demons, but since you wanted to kill a little girl, I had no choice but to kill you too."
After saying this, he walked slowly towards the end of the alley. According to his calculations, by the time he reached the end of the alley, the qi would have dispersed, and he would be able to leave.
The silent girl suddenly spoke up, "You're really amazing, I admire you."
During the previous battle, she was very quiet and did not want to disturb the young man in front of her. But now that the battle was over, she could not contain the admiration in her heart anymore.
It was just that Chen Chao could not see her expression. Actually, even if he turned his head, he would probably only see the eyes in those two holes.
Of course, there was summer in those eyes.
Chen Chao said, "I do hope those big shots will hurry up. Otherwise, no matter how good I am at killing, I won't be able to keep killing like this too."
When he first entered the Divine Capital, Chen Chao quite liked this majestic city. It was because this place was the brightest place in the Great Liang Dynasty.
But he soon discovered that this place also had the most darkness in the Great Liang Dynasty.
To dare assassinate the saintess of a leading Daoism sect, this was something that he never imagined in the past.
The girl said, "My master must know about my current situation. As long as he knows, everything will be okay."
Chen Chao thought that this saintess' master must be an extremely remarkable old daoist in the Daoism society. At the very least, he should be a high-level Great Beyond Realm existence too. Although this level of cultivation was not first-rate in the Divine Capital, it was really quite good.
On the Divine Capital's side, other than the Left Guard, the Right Guard and the Heavenly Imperial Institution would likely have already taken action.
After all, it had been a long time.
Arriving at the entrance of the alley, it was indeed possible to leave this place already. But Chen Chao just took a glance outside the alley and did not continue forward.
There was an old man in a hemp robe quietly watching them in the distance.
Chen Chao fell silent.
An extremely terrifying aura enveloped him.
What he feared the most still happened.
There was really a powerhouse who was completely out of his league that came.
That old man was at least a high-level Great Beyond Realm powerhouse, because the aura he exhibited was stronger and more terrifying than what Song Lian had displayed in front of him back then.
Chen Chao was somewhat depressed as he said with a sigh, "Song Lian that old bachelor is still alive, but I'm actually going to die."
